- Players looking for a conventional fantasy adventure may find the world’s horror elements and unstable premise unsuitable
Our take on EXIST
Rather than using a conventional fantasy setting as a stable backdrop, the game makes the imagined world itself the source of disruption. Platforming and puzzles unfold inside a surreal environment affected by the protagonist’s problems, with horror and parkour added to the usual platformer structure.
What is EXIST?
EXIST is a three-dimensional platformer-puzzle set in a fantasy world that begins to break apart under the protagonist’s influence.
The game combines platforming challenges with puzzle elements, horror themes, and parkour movement. Its visual presentation uses geometric surrealism, creating a world shaped by unusual forms rather than conventional realism. The premise centers on becoming trapped inside an imagined world while destructive consequences spread through it.
